Saturday's "Shappin" Hairstyle: Triangle Flat Twists and 2 Strand Hanging Twists

This Saturday's style was the only style from our recent SheaMoisture products reveiw that hadn't been shown on our "Shappin" Style section, so I wanted to get it up. This one was a first for me, as I had never parted triangle sections for flat rolling twists before. I started out parting the triangle in the center, then twisted the hair and made 2 more triangle twists, one on each side of the first. ...

Coppertone Waterbabies Suncreen Stick Review

The other day I had to purchase some sunscreen for D and Baby Boy for D's trackmeet. Ideally, I would have already ordered some good sunscreen online, but I hadn't.

I’m talking pink, purple, blue, etc. I was rockin’ the crazy colors before they became so mainstream. Now, everywhere you look you see pink streaks or blue clip in extensions. And I will still occasionally wear a clip-in colored extension, but in the past I was hardcore with it,...

Saturdays "Shappin" Hairstyle: Rolling Twists/Braid Out+Kinky-Curly Review

This “shappin” style was created using Kinky-Curly Curling Custard along with Kinky Curly Come Clean shampoo and Knot Today detangler. After I washed, detangled and moisturized I parted a square on top of her head where I created 5 rolling twists. The twists were a little stiff due to the Curling Custard, but they held for days! I braided the remaining sections of hair on each side into one braid a piece and I made four braids in the back, putting...
